Build on the ApplyLoop jobs feed.

The ApplyLoop API exposes the same catalog our own product runs on: every posting our scout discovers across 26 ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, and 20+ more), deduplicated, freshness-validated (stale postings are pruned), and filtered to US locations.

It's built for job boards that want a fresh source, researchers studying the hiring market, and anyone wiring jobs into a personal tool or agent. One endpoint, bearer-token auth, keyset pagination.

Get an API key

1. Create a free ApplyLoop account. No card required.
2. In the dashboard, open API access.
3. Click Create token and grant it the jobs:read scope.

Authentication

Every request carries your key as a bearer token. Keys are per-account, start with alk_, and can be revoked at any time from the same API access page. Revocation takes effect immediately.

Authorization: Bearer alk_YOUR_TOKEN

CORS is open for GET requests, so the API is callable directly from browser apps too.

Jobs API

Returns jobs newest-first (by discovered_at). Suppressed postings (captcha, login walls, closed roles) and platforms with a temporarily disabled apply flow are excluded. You only ever see actionable jobs.

Query parameters

All parameters are optional.

Response

A JSON object: { jobs, nextCursor, count }.

{
  "jobs": [
    {
      "id": "job_9f1c2ab4",
      "ats": "greenhouse",
      "title": "Machine Learning Engineer",
      "company": "Acme AI",
      "company_domain": "acme.ai",
      "location": "Remote, US",
      "apply_url": "https://boards.greenhouse.io/acmeai/jobs/4123456",
      "posted_at": 1753180000000,
      "discovered_at": 1753210000000
    }
  ],
  "nextCursor": 1753210000000,
  "count": 1
}

Pagination: pass nextCursor back as cursor to fetch the next page, and stop when it's null. A US-location filter is applied per page after fetching, so count can be lower than your limit while more pages still remain. Always paginate to the end rather than stopping at a short page.

Errors

Requests sent with Accept: text/html (e.g. pasting the URL into a browser) are redirected to the dashboard's API access page instead of showing raw JSON errors.

Code examples

Replace alk_YOUR_TOKEN with your own key. The Python and JavaScript examples paginate through the full result set.

curl "https://applyloop.pro/api/v1/jobs?q=machine+learning&limit=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer alk_YOUR_TOKEN"

import requests

BASE = "https://applyloop.pro/api/v1/jobs"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer alk_YOUR_TOKEN"}

jobs, cursor = [], None
while True:
    params = {"q": "machine learning", "limit": 100}
    if cursor:
        params["cursor"] = cursor
    page = requests.get(BASE, headers=HEADERS, params=params).json()
    jobs += page["jobs"]
    cursor = page.get("nextCursor")
    if not cursor:
        break

print(f"{len(jobs)} jobs")

const BASE = "https://applyloop.pro/api/v1/jobs";
const headers = { Authorization: "Bearer alk_YOUR_TOKEN" };

const jobs = [];
let cursor = null;
do {
  const url = new URL(BASE);
  url.searchParams.set("limit", "100");
  if (cursor) url.searchParams.set("cursor", String(cursor));
  const page = await fetch(url, { headers }).then((r) => r.json());
  jobs.push(...page.jobs);
  cursor = page.nextCursor;
} while (cursor);

console.log(`${jobs.length} jobs`);

Rate limits

Limits are enforced per key, so one consumer can never starve another. Current defaults:

Successful responses include an x-ratelimit-remaining header; when you exceed a limit you get a 429 with a retry-after header (see Errors above). These are fair-use defaults and may be tuned server-side. If you need more headroom, write to founders@applyloop.app.

Account endpoints

Personal tokens can carry more than jobs:read. These endpoints act on your own ApplyLoop account:

Coming soon

The token scopes apply:read and apply:write already exist in the dashboard. The surfaces they unlock are in preview, and their docs will land here as they stabilize:
